If you get this, answer with three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifications! Anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog :)

(you're getting one too! :D)

Do I get to do this again? Haha :D I won't post to anyone else, but here's some more facts:

1. I collect 50p coins (just ask if you want to see my favourites!)

2. I officially have an indeterminable IQ, as per the WAIS I took during my autism assessment

3. One of my other side hobbies is lock picking, though I'm not very good yet!

For Dante: I think watching his friends and family die in front of him would be devastating for him.

Idk what to put for Vergil. Losing Dante and Nero, maybe? He hasn't really had as much time (even just as himself) to form bonds with people, so its hard to say who it would hurt him to lose. I think him being enslaved or killed by Mundus would suck for him, too, but that feels like a cheap shot.

I don’t care if you make fun of Catholicism as long as it’s accurate! The best humour has its roots in the truth.

The only example of straight oppression is the fact that Amsterdam for straight people is associated with the red light district where generally straight men can pay for sex with beautiful European women. However, for gay people, Amsterdam has a legal gay cruising, clothing optional section of a park where gay men can have sex for free in public.

From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously 🥺❤ (you can watch it here in US or with US vpn :) <3) (or just this bit on youtube here :))

Neil Gaiman: I miss him most when I get stuck. You know, I'll just be working on something and I'll go, "Oh, this isn't quite it," and all I want to do is just call Terry, tell him what's going on and have him say, "Ah, grasshopper, the answer is there in the question." And I'd go, "Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry, just tell me."

13?

honestly the thing that has surprised me the most about transitioning is looking back to my past and seeing just how obvious it was in hindsight that i'm trans despite it taking me until i was in my mid-20s to realize it

it's strange to think about the many things that gave me dysphoria (and still do) that i never took as a sign; possibly more a sign of my ignorance of transness for years before i ever even considered the possibility that i was even queer at all

Feel free to be as wordy as you want!

Thank you! Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to this :)

I'm going to answer these for The Mechanics of Magic!

🎀 [Bow] How many named characters are in this WIP? How many do get a POV?

Named characters, there are quite a few. Ignoring those who are just general members of the public and don't appear again, there are at least 13. Of those, five of them get a point of view (though you could argue that those sharing a mind with a POV character are point of view themselves in some way).

💖 [Heart] What is your favorite moment in this WIP?

It's quite hard to choose! I've always loved the chapter where Roy finds out the truth about his mother. There is also one where the group has a huge argument and briefly splinters that I like a lot, because I feel like I can see where everyone is coming from in that moment.

🎶 [Notes] Do you have any other WIP related things, like moodboards, character portraits, playlists or similar?

I'd love to draw my characters some day, but I have such little time to practice. I don't go out of my way to make moodboards, but I did the other week - I think it's quite a difficult work to moodboard. This and the cover art are pinned on my main page. I really love the new cover, though it was kinda expensive. I used a company called Damonza, and they have done an excellent job capturing the vibe, especially as it's such a difficult one to pin down.

I pretty much wrote all of it while listening to the band Portugal. The Man, so I ended up associating song with each character and the band is forever linked to the book in my mind.

🐀 [Rat] Name three reasons why this WIP is great at being insert genre here.

I really hope it's great at being fantasy. I think it is because:

Lots of magic. There are four different magic styles used, if you count the un-directed form, though they do all interlink as they come from the same underlying basis.

Royal family shenanigans! I am a sucker for royalty in my fantasy it seems, though I have tried to put an interesting twist on it.

Completely original world. It's not what I'd call 'epic' fantasy, but the world of Ardveld and Vailberg is made up with no links to our own. While many things will seem familiar, the countries still have their own culture born of the world in which they live.

‍🎨 [Palette] If your WIP was a color, which color would it be?

Mechanics has always had a dark blue vibe to me, shot through with yellow and orange. I think it's Oliver and Roy's chapters that bring the yellow, as the general vibe is definitely blue.

Sleepy King

The Justice League Dark caught wind of a cult trying to summon the Ghost King. A being with power so terrible and great, that all of the chaotic Infinite Realms feared him. A true tyrant. Long ago it took the effort of ghosts equal to gods to seal him away into a permeant slumber.

And now this cult wishes to wake him and bring him to the living realm. It was a race against the clock to find the ritual site and all members were called on board, magic or not. Even Constantine looked stressed.

They did find the site.

But it was too late, the ritual was completed. The entire inner circle of runes glowed before being swallowed in a column of green light. The air filled with static and a ringing that made Supergirl crumble to the ground.

The light dissipated, but there was no great figure or being of pure evil. Instead there was a boy, a teenager. He laid on the ground curled up in his sleep. He was a ghost no doubt, dressed in regal clothing.

Despite this when he stirred, everyone froze. It seemed the cold hard ground woke him up. He got up slowly and yawned, revealing his sharp fangs. Once sat up he opened his bleary eyes to look around. He looked confused and tired, really tired.

"Where am I?" He mumbled. "I was trying to get some sleep." Constantine internally screaming, latches onto that last sentence. He glances over to Batman. He caught that last part too. Batman approaches calmly and crouches down in front of the boy king. Hardening his resolve, Batman takes on a gentle tone.

"Hey kiddo, sorry we woke you. Lets get you back to bed yeah?" The boy nodded in agreement. He pulled himself to his feet before looking around in a circle. "Where did my blanket go?" He asked rather sadly. Batman is quick to shed his own cape and drape it over him. "You can borrow my cape until we get you a new one." He nodded again, pulling the black fabric around himself.

John quickly summoned a portal door, while Batman led the King through it. John threw looks around at everyone. Everyone could tell he was mouthing the words. 'Find me a fucking blanket now'

Running on the logic of getting the king away from Earth, away from graves and the undead, that could give him power. The portal led to the Watch Tower.

Batman took advantage of the King's bleary state to send a base wide alert for all noncritical members to evacuate immediately. With a priority that death adjacent members leave first. "The stars are pretty." Bruce looked at the boy staring out the window in wonder. He almost looked like a normal kid, almost.

"Yeah they are, it's pretty late so we should get you back to bed." He nodded, going along with Batman's gentle coaxing.

He takes the boy to an unused bedroom. Making sure the room isn't dusty and that lights are dimmed. He glances back to see about a dozen different leaguers all holding blankets, one thought to bring extra pillows. The bed was pretty barren with only a single pillow and a thin bedsheet. So Bruce took a thick duvet, one of the fluffier blankets and a second pillow from his team before shooing them away.

The boy ended up keeping his cape, mumbling how it was warm. He tucked the boy in, before quietly exiting the room and turning off the light. He was pretty sure the King fell back to sleep before he even reached the light switch.

After the door shut, he made direct eye contact with John. "Constantine." They needed to figure out what the hell was going on.
